THE ROLE OF PEER GROUP ON SOCIALIZATION, AND ITS EFFECTS ON GENDER STEREOTYPE: A REVIEW

Dr. Santu Samanta

Abstract:

Socialization is the process by which a child becomes a human being. Inborn children’s are not a human being. What are the toys you played as an adult? If you're a boy, have you ever played with trucks, action figures, toy guns, or sporting goods? If you were a girl, did you dress up, play with dolls, or does a fake kitchen set? If you answer "yes" to any of the examples, that are okay, but if you think the boy or girl is the only type to play, it could be because you were told that this is believable. As we grow, we learn from fellow humans how we must act. Children are introduced to specific roles that are usually associated with biological gender from a very young age. The term gender role refers to the social idea of ??how men and women should behave and how they should behave. These roles are based on norms or standards created by society. In American culture, the role of men is usually associated with strength, aggression, and dominance, while the role of women is usually associated with upbringing and subordination. Looking back at the toys I grew up with, I also learned the role of a particular gender. The kind of toys that parents give their daughters is that their role is compassion and kindness, and the role they engage in is to take care of others, or that their imagination is too high to really help. Often teaches life like a princess. On the other hand, the types of toys parents give their sons, such as trucks, toy guns, and superhero tools, are designed to encourage motor skills, aggression, and one-on-one play.
